It ' s almost rolling into Spring and it cannot come soon enough for me . This edition of Brewings is late because my article was so late . So if you want to complain about this you should contact your President . Oh , wait a minute , that ' s me , so I guess you are out of luck ! Since the last edition the Xmas party was held and what a party it was . The day started with the beer exchange which I think gets better every year . There was many , many beers to sample and a keg of Deer Brand was also drained in my garage that day too . The chapter gave away the Hamm ' s sceneorama to a local New Ulm drinking legend Wally Leick , congrats Wally ! This sure was a great donation from the Miners and also very nice of the B & L bar in New Ulm for displaying and selling some tickets for the chapter . I also have to mention Murray and Jay drinking from the slop bucket again during the vintage beer tasting and the beer that was so old it smelled like a slough !
This year is Schell ' s 150th anniversary and they will have a number of events held throughout the year with a huge party to cap it off in September which will be a very tough month ! The gift shop has put out some really nice apparel and collectibles . Myself and the Schell ' s Borderbatch Chapter would like to congratulate the Marti clan and wish them another 150 years of success and fine beer !
Throughout my one year reign as the King I am going to resolve to make a few more beer shows this year . I plan on making appearances at the North Star Chapters Springfest and the Nordlager show to
start with along with the Guzzle and our Chapters shows . Should be a great year . Speaking of fun people showing up at events , it is always good to see some local New Ulm , usually non-participating members coming out and throwing a few back with the regulars . Rollie , Willis , Tanley , I look forward to seeing you guys at Chapter events and cant wait to see the video Willis has from my birthday party , starring Rollie !
Thats all I have to say as the President of Vice . I ' ll take my leave with a quote from Mark Twain which is as true today as it was in his time . " Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough ."
Lets have one Stubie
